I think it's out of convenience. FCP is first and foremost an editor. If you want to edit, you just need a viewable image. Also, FCPs operators (Curves, Wheels, etc) are not colour space aware so I think this might also be a reason. But to be honest, I don't know why. The Custom LUT in the inspector or on an adjustment layer is the way to go tho. :D
Great explanation Eric! One thing to note is that if you decide to use the LUT in camera, it does affect zebra values. Highlights clip at 97+ instead of 94+. Small difference, but worth noting. LOVING your new EOS Alpha LUTs!
I am using Final Cut Pro and teaching Premiere. Your "why Premiere" cracked me up 🤣 Thanks for answering my question in your video even though you answered previously. Only one option for Premiere (the adjustment layer) vs two options for FCP (the adjustment layer or changing the effect order in the Inspector). Final Cut Pro will definitely remain the love of my life 😉 How about you? Why not DaVinci Resolve as a colourist?
When I worked as a colourist, I was using Resolve (of course). However, I don't want to be a colourist, colouring 5 days a week. I wanted to create content and teach. Additionally, I always loved FCP because of its media browser and the magnetic timeline. There is just nothing like it and I literally can't be creative when I have to work with tracks. Then, I spent quite a while adapting all my knowledge to FCP. I'm convinced that creators and freelancers can get everything done in FCP. And this is my mission: Enable creators to stay in FCP for as long as possible so they can materialise their ideas. :)
Great content! Out of curiosity, why do you suppose FCP defaults to placing the Camera LUT at the beginning of the signal chain?

Amazing. Very valuable to see how you light grade the footage. Thank you Eric🙏🏻
My pleasure! :)
Dude I was thinking recently about getting iOS alpha lut from you and u made this video 😂 learning a lot from your course and video! Hello from ffm!
That's awesome! Thank you for supporting my work! :)
Wow ! Just so much knowledge! Great video !
More to come! Thank you! :)
would you be willing to do a walkthrough video like this but in davinci??
Not planned but the workflow is the same. :)
Hi Eric, amazing stuff, how would this work for Indian skin tones
Hey :) Thank you! Indifferently, I suppose, because the pure hue of all skin tones is the same give or take. :)
what lut are you using for this video?
I grade my videos using a 2383 film emulation. :)
@@iamericlenz ok awesome so do you use your own conversion lut first and then a creative lut after that?
